Lipstick Heels and a Baby

Pregnancy

in Style on 28/01/13

I recently got 2 emails asking about what I looked like when I was pregnant, how much weight I gained, what I did to make myself feel good, and what maternity clothes I wore. Well…I am going to answer some of those questions….but the main thing I want you to remember, and the reason I feel like I got these emails is because pregnancy is a very vulnerable time period. You have to eat right,even if you feel like crap. Stay active, even if your exhausted, but not too active. Get everything perfect for your little bundle of joy to arrive. Go to countless doctors appointments for them to tell you how much weight you have gained, and trying to remind yourself it is a great thing you are gaining weight! And still, somehow, keep yourself together, presentable, happy, and sane!

What did you look like when you were pregnant? Well I have the truthful pictures (iphone pics) that do not lie, they tell it how it is and do not add any form of flattery…here are a few of those.. and at the bottom of the posts I will put a few of my maternity photos with a link to my photographer



















How much weight did you gain when you were pregnant? I gained 45lbs.

What did you do to make your pregnancy easier or to make yourself feel good? Every 2-3 months I would get a maternity mothers massage and I got a pedicure every 2 weeks..a lot I know..but I was doing hair full time and needed more poor feet rubbed!

What maternity clothes did you wear? I wore H&M maternity, Forever 21 maternity, Target maternity, and random things from Destination maternity. Other than that, I wore just a larger size in shirts and wore a lot of leggings! I made sure to always wear cute jewelry tho, it always made me feel beter!

Here are a few of our maternity photos done by Windy Peak Photography!!! They are in Raleigh/Cary area and do fantastic work! They also did my bridal portraits!

    Pregnancy is one of the most amazing and memorable feelings in a women's life. During this time a woman can face a number of changes in their body such as constant aches and pains, nausea as well as in behaviors like mood swings etc. To prevent these issues there isn't usually much that can be done except to easy these discomforts with rest and proper diet.
